Blastofiltration is applied to phytoremediation of heavy metal polluted water at present. The study used castor, okra, melon and moringa seeds as... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Nickel amine carboxylate complexes were synthesized by reacting Ni(ii)chloride with ammonia, malonic and tartaric acid, which formed Nickel amine malonate and Nickel amine tartarate  of  blue and green crystal and  the percentage yield are of both complexes are 62.65% and 62.83% respectively. The decomposition temperatures were 218o C... Continue Reading

ANALYSIS OF TRACEMETALS IN MUSCLE AND LIVER OF COWMEAT PURCHASE FROM URUA IKOT OSURUA. A RESEARCH PROJECT ABSTRACT The concentration of trace metals (cadmium, Lead, Iron, Copper and Zinc) in two organ (muscle and liver) from cow meat obtained from urua Ikot Osurua was determined using Atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Their result was as... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The efficiency of acid modified locust bean pod (ALBP) as low cost adsorbent to remove  Rhodamine-B (Rh-B) dye from aqueous solution was studied. The morphology, functional groups and  elemental analysis of the adsorbent were investigated by SEM, FTIR, pH (pzc), and Boehm titration analytical techniques. Operational parameters such as...

Abstract A biofuel is a fuel that produced through contemporary biological processes such as agriculture and anaerobic digestion, rather than a fuel produced by geological processes. It can be derived directly from plants or indirectly from agriculture or industrial waste. Bioethanol is an alcohol made by fermentation, it is produced from sugar or... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT  In this study, the whole plant of Mimosa pudica was extracted using absolute ethanol. The crude  ethanolic extract and its isolated triterpenoid glycoside were tested for antifungal activity towards  Aspergillus flavus and Trichophyton rubrum using Well Diffusion Method. At concentrations of 25 – 100 mg/mL, the extract possesses... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The starches of corms and cormels of red and white cocoyam (Colocasia esculenta) varieties, cassava (Manihot esculenta), sweet potato (Ipomea batata), bitter yam (Dioscorea dumentorum) and water yam (Dioscorea alata) were extracted. Their proximate compositions, physicochemical properties, mineral compositions and antinutrient contents... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT This paper examines the hydrochemical facies of groundwater present in the shallow marine Plain Sands aquifer of Udi and its immediate environs, maps their areal distribution and attempts to explain the controlling processes responsible for the various facies. 12 water samples were collected from wells tapping the shallow marine Plain...

This project work was carried out to determine the cyanide content in some bitter cassava species in parts of Ohimini L.G.A of Benue State and finding out the best method to considerably reduce the high content in the cassava.... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT  The Cu, Pb, Zn and Mn content of ten chocolates and candies purchased from Abuja municipal aiea council were determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS). The HN03 digestion method was evaluated by the analysis of the ten replicates of the candies and chocolate which gave a precision of 2%, 3%, 17% and 2% for Cu, Mn, Ni and Zn... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Coconut seeds was investigated for its use as biodiesel feedstock. Oil was  extracted from coconut seeds using soxhlet extraction method where 67.2% yield  of oil was obtained. Biodiesel synthesis was developed and optimized using  Box-Behnken design in Response Surface Methodology to study the effect of  experimental variables such... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Five different filling stations (Station A, Station B, Station C, Station D and Station E) were analyzed for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons and heavy metals concentration using Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and atomic absorption spectrophotometer respectively. The result of the analysis obtained indicated that the percentage range... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Poultry eggs are eaten in most areas of the world with fewer social taboos associated with them than pigs and cattle. The most commonly used bird eggs are those from chicken. In Nigeria, the domestic foul dominates the poultry industry. Of the 120 million indigenous poultry population in Nigeria, the domestic fowl constitutes about 91 %... Continue Reading
